SERC is an educational and research institute affiliated with the Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) department at Humboldt State University (HSU). We have provided education and community outreach since our inception in 1989. SERC employees attend career fairs, speak as guest lecturers in classrooms, present teacher training workshops, guide tours of the laboratory facilities and the Schatz Solar Hydrogen Project, and develop interpretive signs and brochures. Audiences include K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students; service groups such as Rotary, Chambers of Commerce, and AmeriCorps; public school teachers; industry professionals; and the general public. Education and outreach are important activities for SERC and are in keeping with our mission to promote the use of clean and renewable energy in our society.

High school students participate in a Student Energy Auditor Training (SEAT).
